Been working on larger things, experimenting with my knives and loving
every minute of it! I can't wait til my next workshop in a few weeks.
My students are in for some real fun! BTW - there are only 2 spots
left. Class is limited to 8. If you're interested, contact me asap.
OK, so... drama queen lately. I am entranced by working out of darkness; dramatic theater type lighting as opposed
to the sunny light of outdoors. So many things happened in this
painting. Starting with being another painting that got scraped (even
after almost dry - can do this with thick paint). Brush toned with mix
of prussian blue and raw umber. Built the dark jewel like colors from
there. LOVE alizarin crimson; prussian blue; magenta; sap green; and
lamp black. Just started using black (only lamp so far); much to the
chagrin of my students. Mixing the three primaries is good fundamental
practice; but when lamp black helps you achieve richer darks with lots
of depth - USE IT!

Announcing one day, 3
hour intensive COLOR MIXING sessions at my studio,
Sally Shisler Palette Knife Painting Studio, in Winter Garden Florida.
These sessions are designed to help students prepare for their own
paintings that they will paint at home with their premixed palette. This
is all about thorough color mixing; not actual painting. Each student
will be provided with a high quality color print of their selected
photograph with a clear breakdown of which colors will be mixed.
Preparing a palette of clean, harmonious color before putting
knife/brush to canvas gives you a head start on a successful painting. Sessions are held on the second Saturday of each month. Cost is $50.
Beginner-Advanced. Space is limited to six students. Please call or
email me at 321-331-3045 or scshisler@gmail.com to secure your spot.
